iPads - Getting the Device name on Lock Screen - Lightspeed MDM

[smithson83]

As per title

 

Does anyone know how to get the Device/User name on the iPads lock screen. It was set and present when I used Apple Config, but I can't see the option in Lightspeed, and now I've changed the wallpaper it's gone. Makes it difficult to tell which is which.

It is possible (I think), I'm sure I got it working when I used Lightspeed. Their telephone support is excellent, helped me a few times when trying to do things.

Apparently, according to Lightspeed...

 

If you set a wallpaper to the Lock screen, it overwrites the Apple Config Lock Screen, including the Device Name, and only Apple Config can set this, as the have not released the API to MDM's

I use Meraki rather than Lightspeed, but I set the wallpaper and device name using Apple Configurator when I supervise them and add the Meraki Profile. Then I do everything else in Meraki.
